1. General Description
Apacer’s ATA Disk Module 5S (ADM5S) SSD delivers smooth performance and low power consumption.
This device supports DMA mode up to UDMA 6 that offers advanced data transfer technology and internal
memory efficiency, which effectively decreases the loading for the microprocessor. Compliant with
ATA/ATAPI-8 standards, our ADM5S supports data transfer modes up to PIO 4, Multiword DMA 2, and
Ultra DMA 6. Equipped with power Error Correction Coding (ECC) up to 72bit/1KB, the ADM5S can
provide high data integrity. Aside from data efficiency, the ADM5S also comes with power management.
The device can work at 3.3V or 5V power supply, with the output voltage automatically adjusted by the
voltage regulator in the core. In addition, the built-in ECC engine can support multi-mode correction
capability up to 72 bits and perform effective decoding throughput with high reliability.
ADM is a cost-effective solution with standard ATA compliance deployable at all major operating systems
such as Microsoft’s Windows series, Apple’s Mac OS family, and Unix variants. Featuring technologies as
wear leveling, S.M.A.R.T, power failure management, and ATA Secure Erase, Apacer’s ADM is definitely
the ideal and reliable system storage.
